Look how they filmed that annoying Aerosmith clip just what I wanted to know. Now's the time they should have should those video clips that covered up qualifying. But wasn't that AB I heard maybe ther is hope.....oops no back to the booth

Qualifying coverage is going fairly well. They just replayed the Reutimann pizza delivery piece from last night. This is where it belonges. I could live without all the video clips from races several years ago. JG from 2005 does it realy matter now

How about a clip from the earlier practice when Burton hit the wall. Guess they were not there. You would have thought that there would have been a few cameras around in case somethin important happened like one of the chasers hit the wall but noooooooooo

Anyone else notice that Jr. didn't smile during the interview? Of course, Mike starting out with, he hasn't won in # races doesn't help.He isn't the only announcer that does that, start out an interview with a negative.

I keep hoping that one of the drivers will say, "and you haven't asked an intelligent question in # races".

I can NOT stand Dr. Punches voice! Sounds like a fake radio voice from back in the 70's. And the way he pronounces the word 'series', like seer-ee's, it's not two words!! There goes those finger nails on that blackboard again.....
